Porcelain onlays for back teeth

The Problem: Old fillings can lead to a number of problems. They can make your teeth dark. Your teeth often develop fractures and become weak. However, simply replacing old fillings with new ones does little to strengthen a tooth weakened by stress fractures. I have seen too many of those teeth end up with large areas breaking away, in need of root canal treatment, or even split and be lost because the stress crack kept growing. Like a cracked windshield, the big fracture often occurs unexpectedly, suddenly, and at an inconvenient time. Those tragedies can almost always be avoided with appropriate and timely intervention.

After porcelain onlays:

The Solution: Porcelain onlays have become a premier choice for restoring back teeth. They are the best in many situations for several reasons. They look amazingly real. More than 95% of our patients look in the mirror and say “WOW! That looks so real!” And they do. Porcelain onlays make the tooth stronger again and we leave a lot of the natural tooth. They offer beauty, strength, and preservation at the same time. Like most of today’s dentistry, onlays can be fantastic if your dentist pays attention to the details and has some artistic finesse. At Donaldson & Guenther we are guilty of trying. We work hard to exceed your expectations and consistently provide world class dentistry.
